Worst attack value possible, and it just doesn't matter: Need Help!

One quibble: Regardless of your BAB, I don't think you can fight defensively AND use Combat Expertise. I'm pretty sure Combat Expertise replaces fighting defensively.

Gosh, someone should tell the guys who wrote the PHB p140...

Fighting Defensively: You can choose to fight defensively when attacking. If you do so, you take a -4 penalty on all attacks in a round to gain a +2 dodge bonus to AC for the same round. This bonus stacks with the AC bonus granted by the Combat Expertise feat.

Ok, so I was wrong. I looked it up and I had it mixed up with Total Defense. My most profuse apologies.

At level 7, you will have a BAB of +7, but when taking the full attack action with a two bladed sword, using combat expertise, power attack, and in a whirling frenzy, you have a net modifier of +7 (BAB) +1 (Weapon Focus) +2 (Str) –6 (Storm of Blows) –2 (Whirling frenzy) –2 (Two Weapon Fighting) –2 (Flurry of Blows) –7 (power attack) –5 (combat expertise) for a total attack of –14/-14/-14/-14/-14/-14/-19/-19

Wow...that's just disgusting. 8 attacks in a round at 7th level...I love it.
